- the chassis also includes a rear tab 4l3 positionable in a flat slot 45 in the body 15, and a forward transverse slot 47 adjacent the chassis front end 49 to hold a downwardly extending body tab 51, the associated tabs and slots providing a convenient method of removably holding the body 15 to the chassis 13.
- the front wheel suspension assembly also seen in FIGS. 3-5, includes the front wheels 17 rotatably mounted on the ends of a relatively small diameter-flexible steel axle 53.
- the axle 53 is held down by a flexible arm extension 55 midway along its length and against a relatively slightly raised step portion 57 at the side edges 59 of the chassis 13 adjacent the wheels 17.
- the axle is captured in this position by an elongated slot 611 in the arm extension 55 transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 11, and also by a pair of upstanding posts 63 which are integrally molded as part of the chassis 13.
- the chassis 13 also includes relatively small side projections 69 under the position of the axle 53.
- the rear wheel assembly on the other hand, particularly referring to FIGS. 2-5, is an intimate part of the motor 33 by having the rear wheels 19 fixed to the ends 71 of the motors armature shaft 73.
- Mounted on the shaft is a three-pole armature 75 and a three-segmented commutator 77, these elements of the motor being disposed between end bearing portions 79 in end plates 81 and 83 of the motors easing 85.
- a pair of brush elements 87 which are here in the form of flat wires of springlike metal which are wrapped a few turn about retaining posts 89 in the end plate 83, of insulating material, and anchored at their other ends by retaining tabs 91 extending from arms 93 held between the posts 89 and the inner surface of the end plate 83.
- the arms 93 also include motor power input terminals 95 and 97, the first extending above and toward its associated post 89 and the other extending above and away therefrom.
- the motor 33 is conventional in design with stress being laid to low voltage input high-speed output operation. It is retained in the motor compartment 31 of the chassis 13 by circular notches 99 provided in sidewalls 101 of the chassis, which notches snap over and hold the motors end bearing projections 103 as clearly'shown in FIG. 2.
- the stationary conductor 105 is a formed metal plate having springlike characteristics such as a brass alloy and having a V-shaped motor contact end 109 in a horizontal portion 111 and a pair of spaced battery contact tabs 113 and 115 along a vertical portion 117.
- This conductor also is provided with a charging plug contact aperture 119 approximately in the center of the conductor in its vertical portion 117, and a smaller conductor retaining hole 121 in the conductors horizontal portion 11 1, above the aperture 119.
- the stationary conductor 105 is held in place on the chassis 13 by the positioning of its vertical portion 117 along the inside of two upstanding flat chassis projections 123 and the horizontal portion 111 adjacent a projection 124, with a small diameter contact retaining post 125 in the hole 121.
- the motor contact end 109 is in electrical contact with the motor power input terminal 97 and the contact tabs 113 and 115 are in electrical contact with the negatively poled battery case 41 at its end 127 opposite the battery's positive electrode 39.
- the movable arm conductor 107 on the other hand includes an L-shaped movable arm portion 129 of preferably resilient material having a motor contact end 131 at one of its ends and connected at the opposite end to a perpendicular switching portion 133 having a V-shaped, downwardly extending projection 135 adjacent to the arm portion 129.
- the switching portion 133 has its broad wall surfaces in a horizontal plane and includes a relatively small hole 137 adjacent the opposite end of the switching portion from the movable arm portion 129.
- the conductor 107 is also provided, by bending, a vertically disposed stationary arm portion 139 having a positive battery contact tab 141.
- the movable arm conductor 107 is retained on the chassis 13 by having the stationary arm portion 139 lying along the inner surfaces of a pair of upstanding chassis projections 143 and having a small diameter conductor retaining post 145 extending through the hole 137 in the switching portion 133. Further support is provided for the conductor 107 by a pair of upstanding tabs 147 adjacent the post 145.
- the motors electrical power circuit is completed when the positive battery contact tab 141 is pressed against the positive battery electrode 39 (as shown in FIG. 6) and when the motor contact end 131 is pressed against the rearwardly disposed motor input terminal by the manner in which the conductor is formed. In this configuration, the motor 33 will be energized to cause the wheels 19 to revolve at high speed.
- both the positive battery contact tab 141 and the negative contact tab 113 are aligned with the longitudinal axis of the battery 37.
- the tab is spaced from the tab 113 and is in contact with a peripheral portion of the end of the battery.
- the positive terminal 39 of the battery is" short circuited by the negative battery case 41 should the battery be mistakenly positioned in the vehicle in a reversed fashion; that is, if the positive electrode of the battery is pressed against the tab 113, a circuit along the battery case is formed between tab 115 and tab 14.
- FIG. 6 also illustrates the positioning of a spongelike multicellular pad 149 (dashed line) positioned alongside of the chassis projections and extending toward the batterys positive electrode 39.
- the pad 149 may be retained adjacent this end of the battery 37 by gluing or otherwise attaching it to the inside surface of the vehicle's body 15.
- the purpose of the pad is to absorb any corrosive or skin irritating chemicals which may leak from a battery through any cause. Since the battery's seal is adjacent its positive electrode, the battery would leak, if at all, in this area. Accordingly, it should be clear that the principal purpose of the absorbing pad 149 is to prevent the possibility of any undesirablecontact with any chemicals which may leak from the battery by any person using the invention.
- the vehicle's circuit can be broken, by moving a manually operated sliding switch lever 151, from an on" position (see in FIG. 7) near the post laterally toward the oppositely disposed post 125 where its off position is located.
- the lever 151 has an elongated body 153, a downwardly extending centrally disposed finger tab 155 and a pair of adjacent upstandingprojection engaging members 157.
- the members 157 have notches 159 in the lower outer surfaces thereof in which edges 161 of an elongated slot 163 in the chassis 13 are situated.
- the lever 151 To install the lever 151 in the slot 163, the upper portions of the members 157 are forced together and forced into the slot until the edges 161 enter the notches 159.
- the upper portions 171 of the members 157 engages the V-shaped projection 135 of the conductor 107 and forces the portion 133 to bend upwardly to lift the arm portion 129 and break the electrical contact between the contact end 131 and the input terminal 95.
- the portion 171 of the members 157 is provided with a sloping projection 173 so that once snapped into the off" position, the lever 151 will not, without positive manual force, move to the on" position.
- an electrical connector plug 181 having an insulated handle 183, an elongated tubular sleeve 185 and a metal tip 187 insulated from the sleeve 185 by an annular insulating washer 189 is inserted into the charging plug contact aperture 119.
- the sleeve 185 and the tip 187 are connected by separate insulated wires 191 and 193 to a conventional battery charging source, not shown, or preferably to a specially advantageous quick charging source of the type described in copending US. Pat. application Ser. No. 8l2,754 dated Apr. 2, 1969 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
- charging current from a negative terminal of the charging source is applied to the battery case 41 through contact between the sleeve 185 and the conductor 105.
- the tip 187 contacts the projection 135 and the positively poled charging current thereby flows from the tip 187 and into the conductor 107 to the positive electrode of the battery.
- the vehicle 11 is preferably run on a flexible plastic track of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,487,999 assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
